HIV test doubt?

Hello, i have a doubt. I had a high rosk exposure 4 months ago. I had tests done at 4, 8,12, and 16 weeks. The thing is ive been taking Avamys abd seretide both are fluticasone. I read that corticosteroids affect the immune system and they can invalidate an hiv test. I took the test while taking those meds ive took them for 2 months in a low dose of 0.36 miligrams daily. Would it affect my tests?  And do i need to repeat testimg.

Hello, thanks for your rapid answer! Just one more question! Do inhaled corticosteroids delay seroconversion? Or they dont?

You've tested negative outside the window period. You do not have HIV.
